Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Good morning Smin is the welkin premium still planned for this update?

We never mentioned a Welkin premium was planned for this update. We said its an aircraft possible for the future at some stage and via some means.

Another 2026 decal vechile perhaps

Maybe the Arjun

Now that we’ve got the XL I’m hoping we see some more stuff like it.

F-16XL-2
F-16ES
F-15E1 (or potentially SE depending on how far the planned stuff can be stretched)

All of those I’d personally love to see.

If we get another XL i’d pass out. Spoiling me atp

Would this mean it could carry 8 aim120s?

8 amraams at 13.0 is crazy

Only issue with the SE is that the full build was just a showroom mockup. Which is why I reckon the tech demonstrator for the SE, F-15E1, has a better chance to come with some of the SE equipment.

Maybe with E1 already having some of the planned equipment that the SE would have had (CWB, AESA, RAM) then there’s enough to get the rest if the planned stuff for it like the improved cockpit and additional missile pylons.

XL-2 would be good as a TT option or maybe as a squadron vehicle.

XL-2 would mainly have a better engine and be a bit heavier but overall it’s performance would be a lot better than XL-1.

nah the main problem of it being a model not even introduced onto a prototype like why theres a 2" ruler in the photo

TT. Letting that beauty fall into the hands of level 1s is unacceptable. Also the XL-2 looks better than the 1, Love the long canopy

It just means it could have been planned.

That image is of a scale mockup used for wind tunnel testing. The real XL airframes only ever carried the mock AMRAAMs on the belly pylons.

Good enough proof, Give it aim120d’s too

but need to prove ability
1/25 model didn’t prove anything

It also has the best livery IMO.

I think you are better off doing hard drugs instead of that cope.
